Getting a 500 Internal Server Error on Laravel 5+ Ubuntu 14.04

Finally Overcame the problem

It was not the .htaccess file that was the problem nor the index.php. The problem was on accessing the files and requiring permissions.

For solving the problem i ran the following commands through terminal.

sudo chmod -R 755 laravel_blog

and then type below to allow laravel to write file to storage folder

chmod -R o+w laravel_blog/storage

This two commands solved the problem.

Create the .env file and also run :

php artisan key:generate

This worked for me after pulling a git project.

After creating .env file and generating the key, run the code below:

php artisan cache:clear 
php artisan config:clear

After installing run below command

sudo chmod 755 -R laravel
chmod -R o+w laravel/storage

here "laravel" is the name of directory where laravel installed
